5th grade spelling

This week's spelling packet is week 17. If we raise enough money for the Sasse Fund Raiser to have a no homework day, the packet will be due on Monday. The test will still be this Friday.

Reading

The sixth grade reading group is working on "Where The Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls. This story is about a boy and his relationship with his dogs. The heart warming story continues throughout the book with a little twist at the end. Once you've read this story you will never look at a boy and dog relationship the same again.
